Chinese New Year

Jackie (Loftsgard) Miranda introduced us to this precious Thai family last year while we were in Chiang Mai.  They hosted her for a portion of her last semester at Calvin College.

This photo was taken in their living room, right after dinner and before we joined the festivities in "China town"... traditional new year street food, a talent show, lion dance, fireworks, acrobatics and the ubiquitous dragon... things wrapped up around 12:30 a.m. (past our bedtime ;-)
